For me resolution is like in movies or games. For example, if a movie is good, it will be good in 480i. But, if you can go to a 4K HDR edition it will be a much better experience and you can appreciate more of the movie itself.

Resolution is even more important for computer graphics than for live action.

Perfomance and resolutions are important people.

Nostalgia is blinding you here I think. People always say things were better in the old days. I love retro games, but there are still lots of new creative games being made today. There were games that ran like shit in the 80s as well. You remember the great games. Not the many games that were bad. Thats what nostalgia does.

I'm personally of the opinion that 2k is already more than the medium requires... Soaring development costs are holding back the industry.

Why can't we have 60 fps like right now?

Unpopular opinion: They should have focused on 1080p and 60fps this gen instead of trying to go for 4k...

I agree, but unfortunately, most developers will opt for the more marketable option, which is making the graphics prettier :/

I'd rather we focus on it now. It's not like 1080p is blurry. Isn't high definition high enough?

It's not as unpopular as you think. 4k is great. It's better though when you can use it as an extension of your e penis.

there will come a point where upgrading becomes unnecessary. yes, the human eye can see basically infinite frames per second, but once displays reach 200, we would really not be able to tell the difference anymore. same with resolution. unless suddenly 120" TVs become common household objects, there would be no need for it

Uh. No. I mean sure, framerate is a great point of focus in general. But we should've focused on it long ago, and it's not always that black and white either. There's a ton of other areas to focus on, even in graphics. There's all kinds of effects and stuff. Resolution is really one of the worst areas to focus on, because it's basically diminishing returns. Additionally, focusing on high-end resolutions is foolish because most users are going to miss out on the high resolution, and focusing on other things first would be more beneficial to ALL users. But resolution is chosen instead because it's really easy to market. All you need to market resolution is a short piece of text. It's pretty hard to do the same for effects, and even framerate isn't understood as well as resolution. It's also hard to show in screenshots.
